MY WHEELCHAIR MALFUNCTIONED AT LOWE’S—AND THE EMPLOYEES DID SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE

 

 

I only went to Lowe’s for a few screws, expecting to be in and out. But when the wheel on my wheelchair suddenly broke, I found myself stuck and ignored by passing shoppers—until a kind employee named Eddie stepped in. Along with his coworkers Tessa and Manny, they not only repaired my chair on the spot but treated me with compassion and dignity, asking for nothing in return. What began as a frustrating moment turned into a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can restore hope and connection—and that behind every uniform is a human being capable of extraordinary empathy.
